I care about them plenty. Though let’s be honest, the “moral imperative” is still utilitarian, you want to be judged by God a good person and get to go to heaven when you die. I want to be judged by myself a good person so I can look myself in the mirror every morning when I shave.

I’m in a society, and my life works better when it works better.

Everybody is in a position to contribute to the full extent of their ability. That’s the nature of the phrase. Now what that full extent is varies from person to person but we all can do something.

"According to the writer, atheists tend to exhibit the same sociological, psychological dependence on the intangible as religious folk do, even if the former reject the existence of anything supernatural."

That's not the position of the Bible-believing Christian. We believe that we've already been judged by God to be anything but a good person, and that no matter how good we might think we are, that is not nearly enough to "get to go to heaven."
